"The house is very clean and fresh, looks to be a recently updated or well kept property. The bedding was clean and nice. All the homes systems worked well ( heating and air etc.. ). The Wi-Fi was weak and did not cover the house and the front door keyed access lock was infuriating to use, but we managed. As far as the functionality of the house, If you you have mobility issues, the stairs to the second floor are steep and could be difficult to navigate. The one bathroom is upstairs and is also...

First off, the room and property itself were very clean and updated. The bed was comfortable and it is a beautiful place for a quick stop. Second, our truck broke down pulling into the parking lot upon arrival at 2am. The staff were extremely understanding and provided a late checkout while we walked to the multiple surrounding shops in the morning in search of service. The breakfast isn’t amazing but it’s a free continental breakfast and nothing out of the ordinary. Great place to stay over...
